Maybe there are, but that doesn't help me.

The systemd way seems to be "one tool of complexity 40 to 50 things" rather than "50 tools of complexity 1 each doing one thing".

When you only need 10 things, you only need 10 simple tools of complexity 10, rather than one tool of complexity 40.

That’s not how complexity works. Inherent complexity can’t really be outsourced meaningfully.
